pubmed:abstractText
Thirteen healthy postmenopausal volunteers were studied under basal conditions and at intervals (days 1, 5, 10, and 30) after intravaginal placement of a polysiloxane ring impregnated with 400 mg of estradiol. Mean serum estradiol concentrations rose 26-fold with a twofold increase in serum estrone concentrations. Serum delta 4-androstenedione, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, and total testosterone did not change, but absolute and percent free testosterone concentrations declined significantly by day 5. Concurrently, serum concentrations of immunoactive follicle-stimulating hormone declined progressively, while serum luteinizing hormone and free alpha-subunit concentrations exhibited a biphasic pattern of suppression. Serum levels of prolactin increased monophasically and those of growth hormone, somatomedin C, and thyroid-stimulating hormone did not change.
